Identification and intelligent control of 2D smart composite

We investigate the prospects for intelligent control of smart composites (containing sensors, actuators, power supply, and signal conditioning) that are envisioned for applications in rotorcraft systems (rotor blades, power shafts, fuselage shell). This paper is concerned with multi-dimensional wavelets and relevant heuristic procedures for fast and parsimonious identification. We also discuss some control techniques based on the idea of a homogeneous system model.
